Smash 4

There’s really only one way to determine the winner of this episode… SETTLE IT IN SMASH!

#564 – Crew member Glen makes his Two Button Crew Show debut! You’ve seen him in the comments, you’ve read his blogs, but today here’s here to make a case for casual Super Smash Bros. He’s got an uphill battle to fight in this debate as both Simeon and Scott are seasoned competitive players, and you know what that means… no items, no wonky stages, nothing like that. But Glen says that that goes against the spirit of the game. What do you think? Stick around for the argument and vote in the poll that will pop up at the end.

You know you’re messed up when you gotta use a third party controller. :(

We love Sakurai, the director of Smash Bros. There’s no question about that. But we do have some real concerns about him that range from the health of his body to the way he manages his employees. It might actually be the case that developing Smash Bros. games isn’t the best thing for him, or for his company! We are going to examine the issue from each angle and do our best to come to an objective conclusion: Should Sakurai quit?

We’d really appreciate it if there were some new default settings… LIKE STOCK MATCHES! GAAAAAAHHHHHH!

We enter a lot of Super Smash Bros. tournaments, and take it from us: the setup is an absolute pain. Oh, we gamers adapt. We make it work. But Nintendo could sure make things easier on their most hardcore fans by throwing us a bone in the form of a tournament special edition of their most competitive franchise: Super Smash Bros. And think about it – this is the perfect time for just such a revision to come into being; as Nintendo is theoretically ramping up their 2014 version for a Switch re-release.

Since before Brawl was out, there has been a fierce war raging between the proponents and the critics of Ridley’s addition to the Super Smash Bros. series. Sakurai has tipped his hat to the Metroid fans in a few different ways, including him as a boss opponent. But we’re not satisfied. We want to play Ridley as a part of the roster, and we won’t be told that he is too big!
